Chapter XXIII: The Continuation of Tradition

After playing well in his new position, Chen Jinlong became more smiling, and he also preferred to pass his teammates during training, and many times even delayed the timing of the pass because he had to pass someone.

This situation looks at Simon? Grayson's eyes made him frown, only thinking about the wide players who break through on the court, they are definitely not a good player, any player with super breakthrough ability needs to know how to be restrained, otherwise he will not be able to integrate into the team.

Chen Jinlong...... It seems that we are on such a path!

But Simon? Grayson's worries were obviously unnecessary, because someone had come forward to reprimand Chen Jinlong on his behalf, and this person was ...... Sark!

"Chen Jinlong! What are you kid playing? What the hell are you! Passing people with the ball all the time, slowing down the tempo! ”

Regardless of whether there were many people or not, Sha Ke directly yelled at Chen Jinlong, anyway, he spoke Chinese, and no one else understood except Du Xiaoguang.

Chen Jinlong and Du Xiaoguang are both little brothers he discovered when he played in Barcelona, and he has watched them grow all the way to where they are today. Grayson may not necessarily give these two Chinese teenagers a chance, after all, in the eyes of most Europeans, yellow people don't know how to play football at all.

The calm Du Xiaoguang doesn't need anyone to worry about, he will conscientiously complete the layout of the head coach and meet the requirements of the head coach, and even sometimes he is too worry-free, and it seems that he lacks a little bit of the blood that a football player should have.

Chen Jinlong is just the opposite, his detached personality makes him a little frizzy, and he is also a little fond of the present, and he has just improved a little in the right midfield position in the last game, and he has to get up immediately.

Belch!

In the face of Shaq's roar, Chen Jinlong didn't dare to squeak. He knows very well that he can have today, who will help him the most, and Shaq has always been the big brother in his and Du Xiaoguang's hearts, and he is the most respected person, otherwise he and Du Xiaoguang could have stayed in Barcelona to fight, in terms of the personal ability of the two of them. The chances are not much smaller than at Leeds United, and he is going to fight Simon? Grayson wouldn't have done anything to Shaq.

"Boss, I was wrong, I'll change! I'll definitely change it! ”

Chen Jinlong hurriedly raised his hand to admit his mistake, and his attitude was so respectful that he couldn't say anything serious, and Shaq raised his eyebrows and walked over to start educating this kid: "Xiaolong, I can tell you, if you kid plays like this again, let alone have a good performance in the new position." Even the right-back position had to be lost! The team is a whole, everyone must serve the interests of the collective, you only care about playing on the side to break through, yes, you kid is cool and comfortable, but everyone has to wait for you to go out to play! Even if I'm the heart of the team's attack, it's because I have a higher goal rate and can maximize the team's interests. Otherwise, I could have gone to the midfield to help the team defend! You kid doesn't even know how to play? Do you still need me to teach you? ”

"Ugh! No...... No! Hehe...... Boss, look...... So what do I do? ”

Facing Chen Jinlong, who had a hippie smile. Shaq really couldn't help it, and glared: "Do what you have to do!" Pass when it's time to pass, break through when it's time to break through! Your first fucking day of football!? ”

"This ...... This ......"

Chen Jinlong was a little embarrassed, after all, he played right back, how do you know how to choose in the right forward position, but when he saw Shaq, his eyes widened again. Immediately changed his words: "Okay! I understand! I see! ”

After being scolded by Shaq, Chen Jinlong immediately changed as if he was a different person, and he didn't show off his footwork there, and after taking the ball, he passed the ball back or horizontally, and then continued to run. This made Shaq's face a little better.

The Leeds players on the side were snickering in their hearts, and people who didn't know Shaq felt that Shaq was taking out the posture of the team owner, but those who really knew Shaq knew that this was Shak's performance of being responsible for Chen Jinlong, and when others didn't perform well, they didn't see Shaq getting angry.

Du Xiaoguang saw Chen Jinlong being scolded on the side, and his heart was warm, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he and Chen Jinlong met Shaq in Barcelona, but who would have thought that just such an encounter, the fate of himself and Chen Jinlong would change dramatically, and even now they have come to England from Spain and become a member of Leeds United.

Fate and destiny are really magical!

On November 22, the match day of the European international competition, England defeated Russia 4-1 at home, and Shaq scored a hat-trick in the game to help England beat their opponents, which was also his 247 goals in 156 games for the "Three Lions". Blanco said: "Shaq, who is about to turn 31, is still the soul of the team, and his performance will directly determine the team's results at next summer's European Championships. ”

Shaq's good form was not only decisive in his time playing for England, but also in his return to the club......

On November 26, Leeds United defeated Norwich City 5-0 away, Shaq alone scored five goals, and Chen Jinlong also gave Shaq two assists when there was only one breakthrough in the whole game, and his performance in the right midfield position became normal.

On 2 December, Leeds United's luck was at its worst, as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Bristol City, with Shaq scoring a goal but hitting the post on two other occasions, Leeds United scored just one goal from 19 attempts, but the opponent equalised with only two shots on goal and ended up in a tie with 73 minutes played.

On 6 December, Leeds United beat Manchester City 6-0 away in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, with Shaq scoring a hat-trick in the first half and Aleksanda Bellaqueta, Lens and the returning Murray all scoring in the second half.

Murray's return after a month's recuperation, Chen Jinlong's return to the right-back position, and Leeds United's right-hand attack is also reactive, these are all signs of the team's development on the good side, and in another unnoticed position, there is one person who has played smoothly for many games, and this person is ...... Russian central defender Kslov!

Since Slov returned to the team's starting lineup, the Russian seems to have changed his sex, his frizziness has changed a lot, and he has become more and more tacit with Du Xiaoguang in the position of central defender, with Slov as the marking central defender and Du Xiaoguang playing the role of a calm rock-like scavenger, the two young central defenders are working together to reach a higher level, and even the defense with Leeds United has become solid.

With a solid defense, coupled with a rejuvenated attack, the "Young Guard" once again entered the stage of triumphant advance......

On 11 December, Leeds United beat West Ham United 3-0 away, and Shaq scored another hat-trick.

On December 16, Leeds United defeated Aston Villa 2:1 away, Shaq scored twice, while Leeds United's defense also withstood the opponent's indiscriminate bombardment, and tried to keep the goal in the second half when the opponent shot eight times. Grayson said that he was "happy with his team's defence".

On December 22, Leeds United swept Tottenham Hotspur 6-0 at home, Kslov opened the scoring for the team with a corner kick in 4 minutes, and Shaq took care of the remaining five goals. Grayson's roll call for praise.

Leeds United beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge on 26 December, and it was Slov who opened the door for the Young Defenders with an 11th-minute header.

On December 30, Leeds United drew 0:0 with Manchester City away, and finally ended the first half of the season with an unbeaten record of 19 games, 15 wins and 4 draws and 49 points.

In the standings, Leeds United is at the top of the table!

The Blues are second with 47 points, but Chelsea have played a game more than Leeds United, and the difference between them and Leeds United is likely to become five points after Leeds United's replays.

The real threat comes from the defending champion "Gunners" Arsenal, Mourinho's team has only played 17 league games because of the Champions League, and is in third place with 13 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss with 42 points.

In any case, Leeds United are now the favourites to win the title, and even the bookmakers have adjusted their odds to win the title to the same as Arsenal, of course, this is also an adjustment made after full consideration.

Not to mention anything else, just the efficiency of Shaq's 36 goals in 19 league games this season is enough to ensure that Leeds United still has the momentum to move forward in the second half of the season, and Lens and Murray are also ranked first and second in the assist list with 14 and 11 times respectively because of Shaq's relationship.

What's more, "Brutal Simon" has always had a tradition of making up for his team during the winter transfer, and every time he makes a supplement, the team he leads will become stronger, and it will never be an exception!

This winter, Leeds United have bought three players, Marcio, Hojdenk, and Clasandy, a central defender, a left midfielder, and a right midfielder, which is almost all the positions where the "Young Guard" was not stable enough in the first half of the schedule. Grayson's ability, these three will most likely make Leeds United stronger.

The Young Guards will be even stronger, and with the lack of European ties this season, they will be able to devote more energy to the league, and who would dare to say that they will not be able to go all the way and finally lift the championship trophy!?

Winning the championship, it seems that Simon is also the same? Grayson and Shaq are the tradition of master and apprentice! (To be continued......)
